Accessory Pairings for a Winter Formal Dance


If you're anything like me you probably love finding new ways to rework an old piece in your wardrobe. Believe it or not you can totally rock that LBD that's been living in the back of your closet for ages. Even if you've worn this dress to a past school dance or event you can most definitely wear it again and no one will have a clue, no matter how recently you may have worn it.

All you have to do is add some fun new accessories. A bright heel here, a statement necklace there and you'll be good to go. It'll look like you're wearing something brand new.

Here are some pairings for anyone's style.

Girly with an edge - A ruffly pink clutch and heart studs are toughened up with black lace. 
Ultra feminine - Pearls, glitter, ruffles, and beading - does it get anymore feminine?
Modern - Red shoes, geometric earrings, and a simple clutch make for a look that's very contemporary. 
Classic and sleek - Strappy sandals look very chic with a clean cut bag and a bold bracelet.
Edgy - Electric blue shoes and a studded clutch make a bold rock n' roll statement that's still wearable.
Glam - Sparkly gold sandals matched with a bold necklace and a bright clutch look super glamorous.

Trust me on this one guys. Before you go out and pay for an all new wardrobe shop your very on closet.
It is much less expensive to purchase a few new accessories rather than a completely new look. Odds are you'll probably get more use and wear out of new accessories rather than a new dress anyways.

What's your favorite pairing?

Fabulous (Leopard) Find of the Week

Vintage Leopard Strap Watch from Betsey Johnson
This week's Fabulous Find is by one of my all time favorite designers, the amazing, Betsey Johnson. I decided to feature this watch for many reasons. One of them being that I just love the look of a big 'ol watch on a girl. It's definitely one of favorite menswear turned women's wear trends that I love. Second, the classic Betsey Johnson leopard print totally makes the watch and adds a bit of spice and femininity  Finally, I love the face and roman numerals. Some might be a bit intimidated by wearing a watch with such a bold pattern, but for me, leopard's a neutral. This classy and sassy watch is $105 and you can buy one right here. Did I mention shipping is free when you spend $100? If that doesn't seal the deal then I don't know what will.

What's In My Bag

What we carry around with us every day says so much about who we are. Here is what I carry around in my bag when I'm on the go. 


My fabulous kitty, Peaches, wanted to be featured. 

Some of my favorite bags are by Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson. Currently, I've been rocking a brown Steve Madden messenger bag with gold hardware  I love it! Here's what I fill it with (Starting from the top left corner)

- Texas Instrument Calculator: I carry this around with me during the week so that I'm always prepared in math class. I love this one because its hot pink with army print details (totally trendy!)

- Static Guard Spray: This stuff is a total lifesaver! I use so much of it. If my hair is static-y when I wake up I'll spray some on my brush. If I'm wearing my favorite pea coat I'll spray some on the collar to prevent static-y clothes and hair. Its perfect for the wintertime because it really helps with flyaways and sticky clothes. Not to mention its really inexpensive.

- Tissues: A total essential! You'd never guess how much having a travel size pack comes in handy (especially during cold/flu season). Plus, the tribal print packaging is so cute!

- Small Digital Camera: I don't always carry one around but sometimes if I know I might be needing one I'll bring my small pink digital Polaroid i735 camera opposed to my Nikon Coolpix L120 which is much larger/bulkier.

- eos Lipbalm: My friend Meghan introduced me to this product and I have been obsessed with it ever since! The one pictured is in Sweet Mint which is super minty (obviously) and refreshing. I also love Strawberry Sorbet, which I usually use when I wake up.

- Assorted Pens, Pencils, and Highlighters: These are mainly for school but I leave them in there all the time. I  always carry around a mechanical pencil, a black ballpoint pen, a pink highlighter, and an art pencil (for all my art kids I prefer a 6B, 4B, or H)

- Pop-up Hairbrush: I love this thing. Basically, its a pop-up hairbrush on one side and a mirror on the other. So awesome!

- Band-aids: This is sort of embarrassing but I fall... a lot. So I've learned that keeping band-aids around all the time is a very good idea. These are my favorites they are the Cynthia Rowley Band-aids which I think is pretty awesome.

- Makeup Bag & Makeup: I always carry around a bunch of lip products in my super cute polka dotted makeup bag. Right now I'm carrying around a NYX lipgloss in Gold Pink, a NYX lipstick in Narcissus, a Maybelline Baby Lips lipbalm in Pink Punch, and a Rimmel London lipgloss in Fuschia Fever. Also in my makeup bag I carry a pressed powder compact (not pictured), a makeup sponge, a ponytail holder, bobby pins, and Gold Bond lotion.

- Hailey Fragrance Rollerball: I have always loved this scent by Aeropostale. They just started making it in a rollerball which is perfect for applying during the day.

- Large Gold Hoop Earrings: You never know when you'll need to add a fun accessory.

- Sunglasses and Case: Aviators are my favorite style.

- Earbuds for my iPod

- Mini Flashlight: This also somewhat embarrassing, sometimes I use this to locate things I need in my bag.

- Sweet Pea Handsanitizer: A huge necessity during cold/flu season. I use this all through the day.

- Pink Fragrance Mist: I love this scent. I apply it after P.E. to freshen up. For my bag I have it in the travel size.

- Dogs Lanyard: I show off some Bulldog Pride by putting my keys on this awesome lanyard.

- Assorted Gum: This one pretty much self-explanatory

- Betsey Johnson Wallet: I love this! Find a similar one here!

- Black Faux Leather Gloves: A stylish way to keep your hands warm.


I hope you guys enjoyed reading about what I carry around with me on a day-to-day basis. I had a really fun time with this post.
